The Police Gunship cut through the Coruscant skyways as it headed straight for the GAR-controlled side of the airfield. [color=7bcdc8][i]"We're getting close to our destination! By the force... It's absolute carnage out there..."[/i][/color] The female CSF pilot said as the airfield came into view in the distance. Kappa Squad and the Jedi took a look outside the windows of the passenger compartment and saw what could only be described as a full-scale war being waged on the enormous stretch of land within the airfield. Blue and red laser bolts flew into opposite directions of the field as both clones and droids fell lifeless to the ground from the storm of blaster fire. Jedi Knights stood in between the clone ranks, deflecting blaster bolts and using the force on the debris in the field to provide cover for the soldiers behind them. [color=fff79a]"An open field, little to no cover, clones behind Jedi with a swarm of droids on the other side... It's like Geonosis without all the sand..."[/color] Cockpit said. His statement sounded like a joke, but his tone was of worry. Spotter shared Cockpit's sentiments. The battle of Geonosis was infamous among many Clone Commandos for the amount of casualties the special units sustained due to the Jedi not using them properly, and sending them to the frontlines when they were meant for flanking and sabotage. [color=0054a6]"Don't worry, Pit. This time it's our capital they're invading. And we're not as incompetent as droids, are we?"[/color] Signal said, noting Cockpit's tone. [color=fff79a]"Heheh... Yeah. We'll show these guys the right way to defend a planet."[/color] Cockpit replied. The Jedi, Jovardo Zlee began to close his eyes in deep concentration. And when he opened them he spoke immediately. [color=c4df9b]"The disturbance I've been feeling since I was in the Jedi temple is becoming stronger than ever. I believe the source of it comes from within the ranks of our enemies. Stay alert once we're down there..."[/color] The Rodian Jedi said to the clones around him. The Jedi then put his fingers up to his communicator. [color=c4df9b]"Yes master? ... How bad is it? ... I see... Alright, I will head there immediately with back up. Yes we're almost there. Good luck, master."[/color] Jovardo said as he shut off the communicator. [color=c4df9b]"All of you, stay with me once we land. We're going to meet up with my master and help bolster the front that he and his men are holding. We are to hold that location until further orders."[/color] He commanded the clones aboard the ship. [color=lightgray][b]"Yes sir!"[/b][/color] was the collective reply. Spotter turned towards his squad. [color=a187be]"Final weapons check, Kappas. Make sure you're ready for contact as soon as we hit the ground!" [/color]He ordered as he fastened the locks of his DC-17 into blaster mode and slapped on the glowing blue magazine to ensure it was loaded. The rest of his team did the same. Signal adjusted his helmet and tightened it. Cockpit began stretching his neck. Mech carefully inspected his DC-17 and his sidearm blaster. The rest of the clones were making their own checks and adjustments. [color=7bcdc8][i]"Mapping a descent path now. Landing in less than two minutes!"[/i][/color] The pilot said. They felt slight turbulence as the craft adjusted course and anti-air rounds exploded on both enemy and friendly squadrons passing through their view. They felt themselves become lighter as the gunship slowly lowered altitude. [color=0054a6]"Hey, are you boys from Kamino? Your armor looks like it's seen more action than most of the Spaarti cloned ones."[/color] Signal said, referring to the squad of clones in the ship with them. [color=lightgray]"Yes sir, my squad and I were shipped out around 6 months ago. We're reserve units so we don't have an official legion like most."[/color] The clone trooper who appeared to be the squad leader replied. [color=0054a6]"Then you should remember the Mandalorian marching song they taught us there...[/color] Signal then began a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao1HQAPRSwo]low solemn chant in Mando'an tongue[/url], followed by Cockpit, Mech, and Spotter who started joining him. [color=0054a6][i]"Kote... Kandosii sa ka'rta, Vode An...[/i]" (Glory... One indomitable heart, Brothers All...)[/color] [color=fff79a][i]"Coruscanta a'den mhi, Vode An..."[/i] (We, the wrath of Coruscant, Brothers All...)[/color] [color=a2d39c][i]"Bal kote...! Darasuum Kote..."[/i] (And glory...! Eternal glory...)[/color] [color=a187be][i]"Jorso'ran kando a tome..."[/i] (We shall bear its weight together...)[/color] The last part of the chant was sung in unison by all of the clones aboard the ship [color=lightgray][b][i]"[u]Sa kyr'am nau tracyn kad, VODE AN![/u]"[/i][/b] (Forged like the saber in the fires of death, BROTHERS ALL!)[/color] [color=7bcdc8][i]"Touching down now, opening passenger doors!"[/i][/color] The pilot said as the craft suddenly stopped descending and the doors slid open. [color=a187be][b]"Let's hit it, men! Move move move!"[/b][/color] Spotter commanded all of them as the clones and the Jedi jumped off the gunship and planted their feet on the ground of the airfield. The squad of clone troopers proceeded to move forward and secure covered positions for them while Spotter lagged behind next to their Jedi general. [color=c4df9b]"You clones can share quite the bond. I did not need to sense it while we were on the ship"[/color] Jovardo remarked. [color=a187be]"At least the ones from Kamino, sir. Some of the trainers there teach old Mandalorian warrior traditions."[/color] Spotter replied as he turned towards his team and the squad of clones link up with friendly forces before waiting for the Jedi to lead the advance further towards the frontline. [color=a187be]"I don't know if any of those greenhorn troops will live to see another day sir. But it's better to keep their minds off of that possibility. Better to give them a morale boost to prepare them for the nightmare up ahead."[/color] Spotter continued. [color=c4df9b]"Even us Jedi do not know if we will live past this battle. So let's all do what we can to hurt our enemy before we fall."[/color] The Rodian said as he dashed forward quickly to join the fight with his fellow Jedi. [color=a187be][b]"Sir, yes sir!"[/b][/color] Spotter replied as he ran forward quickly. [color=a187be]"Kappa squad, on me! We'll stay close behind the general until we're at the objective location. Watch out for stray shots, use cover, and be on standby for further orders!"[/color] Spotter commanded his team as he joined them. [color=0054a6]"Yes, squad leader!"[/color] [color=fff79a]"Yes, squad leader!"[/color] [color=a2d39c]"Yes, squad leader!"[/color] His team replied in unison as they followed behind him heading in the direction of the front lines.
